Adjustable recessed trim

Abstract

An adjustable recessed trim for a lighting fixture includes an enclosure with a light output opening and a light source opening provided upward from the light output opening. An adjustable cover piece having a cover piece light source opening is provided over the enclosure in registration with the enclosure light source opening and is adjustable between at least a first position and a second position.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An adjustable recessed downlight trim, comprising:
 a light output opening; 
 an enclosure extending upwardly from said light output opening and defining an enclosed space therein, said enclosure having an enclosure light source opening therein provided upward from said light output opening; 
 an adjustable cover piece provided over said enclosure and adjustable between at least a first position and a second position by a sliding movement across an enclosure surface of the enclosure, said cover piece having a cover piece light source opening and a cover piece flange extending from said cover piece light source opening, wherein any light visible through said light output opening is light that has first passed through said cover piece light source opening; 
 wherein said cover piece light source opening is smaller than said enclosure light source opening and is in registration with said enclosure light source opening in said first position and said second position; and 
 wherein said cover piece flange covers the remainder of said enclosure light source opening not in registration with said cover piece light source opening in said first position and in said second position. 
 
     
     
       2. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said adjustable cover piece is pivotable between said first position and said second position. 
     
     
       3. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 2 , wherein said adjustable cover piece is pivotally attached to said enclosure. 
     
     
       4. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said cover piece is adjustable to a plurality of positions between said first position and said second position. 
     
     
       5. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said first position and said second position are offset at least twenty degrees along an arcuate path. 
     
     
       6. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said enclosure and said adjustable cover piece are in sliding contact with one another. 
     
     
       7. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said cover piece flange has an arcuate cross section. 
     
     
       8. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said enclosure and said adjustable cover piece are sized to extend through an adjustable recessed downlight frame in at least one of said first position and said second position. 
     
     
       9. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said enclosure and said adjustable cover piece define a maximum peripheral dimension in said first position, and wherein said maximum peripheral dimension is less than or equal to a peripheral dimension of a trim flange provided peripherally of said light output opening and below said enclosure. 
     
     
       10. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , further comprising a trim flange provided peripherally of said light output opening and below said enclosure. 
     
     
       11. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 10 , wherein said enclosure and said adjustable cover piece do not extend peripherally beyond said trim flange in at least one of said first position and said second position. 
     
     
       12. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein said cover piece flange extends entirely around said cover piece light source opening. 
     
     
       13. An adjustable recessed trim, comprising:
 a trim flange surrounding a light output opening; 
 an enclosure extending upwardly from said trim flange and defining an enclosed space therein, said enclosure having an upper enclosure opening therein provided upward from said opening; 
 an adjustable cover piece pivotally coupled to said enclosure and adjustable along a substantially arcuate path between at least a first position and a second position by a sliding movement across an enclosure surface of the enclosure, said cover piece having a cover piece light source opening and a cover piece flange extending from said cover piece light source opening, wherein any light visible through said light output opening is light that has first passed through said cover piece light source opening; 
 wherein said cover piece opening is smaller than said upper enclosure opening and is in registration with said upper enclosure opening in said first position and said second position; and 
 wherein said cover piece flange covers portions of said upper enclosure opening in said first position and said second position. 
 
     
     
       14. The adjustable recessed trim of  claim 13 , wherein said enclosure includes a lower enclosure and an upper enclosure atop said lower enclosure. 
     
     
       15. The adjustable recessed trim of  claim 14 , wherein said trim flange is cohesively formed with said lower enclosure. 
     
     
       16. The adjustable recessed trim of  claim 13 , wherein said adjustable cover piece includes a plurality of light source socket retention openings peripherally of said cover piece opening. 
     
     
       17. The adjustable recessed trim of  claim 13 , wherein said enclosure and said adjustable cover piece do not extend beyond said trim flange in at least one of said first position and said second position. 
     
     
       18. The adjustable recessed downlight trim of  claim 1 , wherein the cover piece flange has a flange surface that corresponds to the surface of the enclosure for the sliding movement of the flange surface relative the enclosure surface.
